AI explanation

Given that 4A equals 7B and equals 5C, the profit sharing ratio for A to B to C is 1/4 to 1/7 to 1/5. Finding a common denominator of 140 gives the ratio 35 : 20 : 28. The total of 83 parts represents the Rs. 49,800 profit, meaning one part is 600, and multiplying by B's 20 parts gives his share as Rs. 12,000.
